Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is loosening rules on drones to allow more of them to fly beyond the operator's line of sight. Good for delivering Amazon packages and Starbucks coffee, but bad for safety? And some Wisconsin Republicans are spending their week yelling at Milwaukee, yelling at Canada, or — in Derrick Van Orden's case — putting up posts of a naked man. Will the weirdness never end?

Our guest on this week's episode is Crystal Parrott, chief operating officer at Plus One Robotics. Retailers have always had to deal with seasonal peak periods. However, those fluctuating volumes make it difficult on distribution operations. But now, there are technologies that make it easier to smooth out the peaks. Our guest shares how those technologies can bring huge benefits for retail distribution.The major story we've been covering this week has been the collapse of the Key Bridge in Baltimore Harbor when it was struck by a container ship leaving Maryland on its way to Sri Lanka. Investigators and rescue workers are still trying to figure out how that tragedy happened, and it could take years to ultimately rebuild the bridge, which carried traffic on I-695. In the meantime, the closure of the Port of Baltimore has forced supply chains managers to adapt. We look at how ships and trucks are being rerouted to other ports and roads and what overall effects this disaster may add to supply chain disruptions and complexity.We take a sneak peek at a story in the April issue of DC Velocity that looks at how drones are impacting middle-mile freight movement. There is a European company that is very close to making commercial delivery operations with larger drones a reality. Dronamics has developed a Cessna-sized aircraft called the Black Swan. It's a middle-mile drone that can deliver 770 pounds of cargo up to about 1,500 miles. Supply Chain Xchange also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane. It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.

Companies, including Amazon, UPS, and Domino's are all investing in package delivery drones. These systems represent a significant paradigm shift from the current air traffic control model. With the private sector moving at the speed of innovation, the government will need new tools to regulate this new airspace. In this episode, we discuss CNA's new agent-based model, UAS Cooperative Airspace Traffic Simulation (UCATS), and how it can help the FAA and local stakeholders fairly regulate package delivery drone operations. Guest Biographies Rebekah Yang is Systems Engineer with CNA's Center for Data Management Analytics and the lead engineer on this model. She is an artificial intelligence and machine learning expert for the Federal Aviation Administration's Office of NextGen and a data visualization and modeling specialist.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East, and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Today's guests are founding ToI editor David Horovitz and Startup Israel editor Ricky Ben-David with Jessica Steinberg hosting. Horovitz discusses the recent ceremony he attended honoring WWII Japanese diplomat Chiune Sugihara, attended by his son Nobuki Sugihara, and their conversation about the father's bravery during his posting in Hungary, when he saved lives and future lives by churning out transit visas. Ben-David follows with a look at why Israel's tech sector is breaking capital-funding records in 2021, pointing to the more mature Silicon Wadi, second- and third-time entrepreneurs who have also spent time at tech giants, forging their own connections and contacts and technologies that require larger capital. Horovitz also talks about the recent ransomware attack on Hillel Yaffe hospital in Hadera, an institution that was following cybersecurity protocol and is now dealing with the ramifications of the attack. Ben-David discusses her interview with an Israeli expert regarding Facebook and the recent whistleblower testimony that will presumably change the trajectory of the social media company. She also offers a birds'-eye view of a drone-food delivery to reporters on the Tel Aviv beach. Discussed articles include: 81 years later, Chiune Sugihara's humanity continues to enable new lives Israeli tech firms raised staggering $17.8b this year, almost double 2020 total Israel on heightened alert after hospital hit with ransomware attack Israeli hospital hit with ransomware attack Regulation takes time but it's coming for Facebook, says Israeli law expert Drones deliver sushi, beer in Tel Aviv as Israel tests commercial UAVs Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

If the idea of swarms of delivery drones dropping packages all over our cities started out as a joke, for some reason the punchline hasn't landed yet. Amazon applied for a patent in 2015 for a command center, like a beehive, plopped into your city, which isn't a worrying metaphor at all. Google has its own program in the works, which at least for the moment involves delivering burritos. Again, if this is a joke, it's got a very long fuse.
Online shoppers are ready for a new wave of innovation in the e-commerce experience and retailers had better be ready, too. The P.R. and social marketing agency Walker Sands Communications recently conducted its second annual study on the future of retail. The effort zeroed in on the technology aspects of online shopping. Key findings focused on three major developments: the use of delivery drones, the shift to mobile payment, and the deployment of virtual reality to create an in-store experience for home-based buyers. Interestingly, a large percentage of respondents declared themselves ready for some of these trends, especially drones. Two-thirds said they expect to receive their first drone-delivered package within the next five years. But are these cutting-edge technologies really practical? How will they transform the face of e-commerce? We get answers from Dave Parro, senior account director and retail technology practice lead with Walker Sands. He also talks about which e-commerce giant will likely prevail in the technology race. And he outlines some of the obstacles that might delay full deployment of these innovations.
Commercial delivery drones are in our future or so we're told. What will it take to make them a reality? Drone technology is advancing quickly. Amazon.com is well along in its development and testing of drones for delivery of packages. And now Wal-Mart says it wants to start testing drones as well. Soon, it seems, the skies will be filled with these futuristic flying machines. First, though, there are some practicalities that need to be addressed. Chief among them is a proposed ruling by the Federal Aviation Administration that places onerous restrictions on commercial drone operators. And there are economic factors to be considered. Can online merchandisers really operate drones in a profitable fashion? On this episode, we get answers from Lisa Ellman, partner in the law firm of Hogan Lovells. A former advisor to President Obama on drone policy, she fills us in on the progress of retailers' efforts to make drones an everyday part of our online shopping experience.
Delivery drones are on their way to your doorstep. And regulators are right on their tail. Amazon and other e-commerce retailers are preparing a fleet of drones that can rush product to the consumer. The craft are already in the testing stage, but the legal ramifications of their use are far from clear. Issues to be addressed include privacy, security, safety and environmental impact. The Federal Aviation Administration insists that it has jurisdiction over drones today, but others disagree, and the matter is currently being litigated in the courts. This episode features attorney Joshua Dalrymple, a professor in the School of Legal Studies at Kaplan University. He offers his view on how regulators and lawmakers will address the coming of commercial drones, and what it means to businesses and consumers alike.
